RUH: (sic) Boy, this rally was another one of the Trump special — Trump talked about the fact that there’s this blue wave coming, and he doesn’t see it. He sees a red wave. Here are the two sound bites that relate to this. Number 1.
THE PRESIDENT: You are great people. You work hard, you pay your taxes, you do all these things, and you were forgotten. They forgot about you. And you’re the smartest people. You’re the smartest people. They talk about the elite, the elite. Did you ever see the elite? They’re not elite. (boos) You are the elite. You are the elite. (cheers) You’re smarter than they are. You make bigger incomes. You’ve got everything going, you know? So let them keep calling — you go to the best schools. You do a tremendous job. You own companies. You work for tremendous salaries. You’re talented, with your hands, with your mind. And then you hear, “The elite has just said.” The elite? They’re more elite than me? I have better everything than they have, including this. (cheers) And I became president, and they didn’t, meaning you became president. (cheers).
RUSH: The kicker. The kicker.
THE PRESIDENT: And it’s driving them crazy. (cheers) RUSH: “And it’s driving them crazy.” And the applause went on and on. Next here is the prexy talking about blue wave versus red wave.
THE PRESIDENT: They’re talking about this blue wave. (laughter) I don’t think so. If the Democrats get in, they’re gonna raise your taxes, you’re gonna have crime all over the place, you’re gonna have people pouring across the border. So why would that be a blue wave? I think it could be a red wave.
RUSH: And the crowd responded. And that’s what I was alluding to earlier. It’s a good point. If the Democrats win, what are we gonna get? The Democrats are basing this blue wave on one thing: Trump hatred. The resistance. They’re not basing it on people’s desire for Democrat policies. Now, isn’t that kind of flimsy? They think they live in a world where everybody now hates Trump.
It’s what they tell themselves. They live in a world where everybody now realizes the mistake they made voting for Trump. They live in a world where in their view everybody is embarrassed of Trump every day and wishes that they could take back their vote and will This is what they’re telling us is the momentum and the energy and the Republicans just can’t compete with it. “I mean, the Republicans, they won two years ago. Complacency sets in,” and it is statistically true that the party in power traditionally loses some seats. The average is 15. Over the years, the average number of House seats lost in the first House elections after a presidential race is 15 seats. Well, everybody thinks now that the Republicans are gonna lose 50 to 60 and that the Democrats are gonna come in and take over. But it isn’t based on policy. Noooo. It’s based on Trump hatred. It’s based on the fact that people are embarrassed of Donald Trump. “They don’t like Trump’s tweeting. They don’t like Trump’s rallies. They don’t like Trump insults people. They don’t like the way Trump talks about the witch hunt. They don’t like way Trump talks about Jeff Sessions. They don’t like the way Trump talks about CNN. They don’t like the way Trump talks about LeBron James. They’re embarrassed about it, and they can’t wait to get rid of Trump.” Meanwhile, over here, the country has experienced an economic rebirth, with people who haven’t been working in 20 years finding jobs — after the Democrats and their president specifically said the jobs weren’t coming back. We’re coming off eight years where the existing president, the administration was painting a bleak picture of America in decline. Best days behind us. “Some jobs just are not coming back. It’s just the new way of the world.”
The economic redirection in this country is dramatic. So I don’t know. Do you find it plausible — and a lot of people do, by the way. Do you find it plausible the Republicans could lose the House and policy have nothing to do with the election, that the Republicans are gonna lose the House because a lot of people now regret voting for Trump and can’t wait to vote against him by voting against the next Republican they can vote against?
“The only way to hurt Trump is to vote for Democrats.” This is the logic we’re being asked to believe. In fact… In fact, there is a new theory being tested here in the Drive-By Media, and you know what that theory is? The theory is that Trump is doing all this stuff to purposely lose the House, that Trump wants to lose the House so that the Democrats will get into power and start showing themselves trying to raise taxes, trying to impeach Trump, doing what they do.
It’s all because this is how Trump thinks he can guarantee his own reelection in 2020 is to have the Democrats win the House and have them be going absolutely insane and nuts each and every day running the House of Representatives. The left, the Drive-By Media is starting to circulate that theory that Trump is actually out there trying to sabotage the Republicans and their efforts to hold the House. Because Trump thinks the Democrats winning and bringing his agenda to a screeching halt will be the fastest way to get him reelected. There’s a little bit more to it than that, but that’s being bandied about.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
At risk open seats of retiring GOP in districts HRC won.

At risk in NJ seats
Ping!
Only ONE thing drives the Blue Lying Left: the love of Global Totalitarian Government.
Those are externalities, not a wave. If the GOP still does ok despite those hurdles, then the Dems are really done because 2020 will have a better economy and big coattails.
I am so prejudiced against liberals that it still amazes me that either evil or stupid voters vote Dem.
Some want the taxpayers’ checkbooks open more often for their benefit, and others want to hurt good Americans who love freedom.
Others actually believe the bilge pouring out of CNN and MSBNC. After leftist teachers brainwashed them since kindergarten.
Read my tagline. If there’s a blue wave, it’ll be Democrats voting for Trump-backed candidates.
Agreed. As a former Democrat myself I often shudder to think how easily I fell for all the party of the “working man” rhetoric they spewed in the eighties and nineties. I finally left the party in 2008 and I believe the only way we can save this country is for millions of Democrats to reject the communist institution their party has become. I can’t say that I’m the most staunch conservative on every issue, but I finally have come to the realization that conservative governance is what’s best for this country. I’m hoping many Democrats will eventually see that too!
“A Blue Wave Based on What?”
Margin of fraud.
It is interesting not many Presidential Hopefuls are not hitting the Iowa State Fair this year. It starts this week. Maybe Dems. are afraid of early criticism. Obama campaign was working in Iowa early. It is a sign they are focusing attention on House Races and Senate Races this time.
So what does (65 and 12) mean?
Democrats believe that if they all piss in the ocean at the same time it will create a “blue wave”.
All it will do is stink up the water around them and attract sharks.
What caused the left to become mentally ill in many cases?
Something pushed the left to a nervous breakdown. The mass hysteria is unbelievable. What pushed them over the the edge?
I’m a former democrat too... it’s so freeing to switch sides....
Liberals don't become mentally ill. But mental illness is a requirement to become a liberal.
i watched that rally in Ohio...the line “AND ITS DRIVING THEM CRAZYYY” was just priceless...i laughed my ass off..hes gotta keep that in every speech from now on....all i can say is..these last 3 years have added years to my life...ive never enjoyed politics so much....best election ever.
TOP picks up 65 house seats and 12 Senate seats.
Thank you. I like that.
Tears?
